3 Big words found in 1 John 4:8, 16 "God is Love."
Ever think about that idea: God is love. God is the one who is the perfect definition and the true definition of love. John explains how God showed his unconditional and self-sacrificial love by sending his Son, Jesus, to earth to die for us, as sinners.
As I was sharing this morning the thought came to me, that often we don't understand the depth of God's love (most often in difficult circumstances like broken relationships, disease, and difficulties that we can't grasp) because there is a weird interplay with the role sin and Satan plays out in our lives.
We are able to find hope in the words of John as he says, "we rely on the love of God" --- no matter how we struggle to understand (especially in our human perspective) a God who is love, we can still rely on him.
As David says over and over in the Psalms...His love endures forever.
